Oh ... I'm certainly not endowed with enough self-confidence
to take on the
Cygwin FAQ
But I'm sure that Tim Prince said (on the gcc mailing list)
that Cygwin's
gcc provided 64-bit support, whereas MinGW's did not. No

assume that I misunderstood what Tim told me (which is most
likely the case,
anyway
